I THINK PERSONAL TAGS FOR GAMING PROGRESS WOULD BE NICE

CloseI joined RMN in 2011, and probably played hundred of games on the site since then, and pretty much lost track of many games I played. I suggest that the mods would add tags or flairs for the player to count his progress on the game, whether he's just beginning, or stuck, or gave up on it. Also, It would be bothersome for me to download a game and find that I have played it before.
Here's my personal suggestion for the tags:
Any suggestions would be nice. Mods can make it private for the user, or visible only to the game maker, or visible to public. It's up to them.
Here's my personal suggestion for the tags:
- Will play: Downloaded the game and plan to play it in the future
- Currently playing: Playing this game now
- Hiatus: Stopped playing but will be back to play in the future
- Stuck: Can't move forward and stopped playing for now
- Abandoned: Gave up on the game and won't play anymore
- Completed/Finished
Any suggestions would be nice. Mods can make it private for the user, or visible only to the game maker, or visible to public. It's up to them.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

ooh, this is a really good idea!
If that was visible to the game maker, it would be super helpful tbh- lots of people might use it even if they'd never outwardly tell the dev they abandoned the game or got stuck, etc.
I'm not sure about making it visible to the game dev - how would that work? They'd have a percentage of where people went for each tag? But there'd be a lot of people who might not ever bother with tagging all but a few games, so they wouldn't get an actual good reading on where the play status of their game really is.
That said, I do like the idea of players having a way of seeing what they have downloaded in the past and being able to tag where they got up to. I'd almost suggest adding a fill-yourself-field so that they could make a note about the game. Maybe they dropped a game because of a bug and want to check back later to see if it got fixed, they could make a note of that along with the Stuck tag. Or something like "I didn't like the main character and got bored with their internal conflict thing being brought up every 5 seconds." with an Abandoned tag.
Something so they can go "Oh, yeah, I remember now. That's why I stopped playing." instead of being "But the game looks good, why didn't I finish it?"
